NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden said that the FBI’s claim to need Apple to unlock the iPhone a San Bernardino shooter is a sham. The FBI says that only Apple has the ability to crack the work phone left behind by the San Bernardino terrorists, and last month convinced a federal judge to compel the tech giant to write a custom operating system with intentionally weakened security mechanisms. Apple is refusing to do so, and said that it is willing to take the fight to the Supreme Court. If the FBI says they can't get into the phone like they are, you pretty much must know that is bullshit. The FBI has every imaginable device that can hack into any system or hardware you can think of. They even have people who went to prison for hacking working for them. They have some of America's brightest scientific minds working for them. So if you don't think the FBI has already got the goods to break into it you are sadly mistaken. Apple alone probably can't even get the US patent for the phone without handing information over to the feds first. This is just Apple trying to save suit, and the Federal government making you think they don't have the tools already.
